What is the origin of the Chinese name "Ninja"?

Everyone loves watching Naruto. Let me popularize the common sense of ninja.

Ninja, like sushi and geisha, has become an international language. Whether authentic Japanese or foreigners learning ninja skills, their images of ninjas are usually: dressed in black, able to fly over walls, leap over cities, call the shots, change stars and fight, and use all kinds of grotesque hidden weapons. Although this image is not accurate, it is also very close.

Ninja's job is mainly to carry out secret tactics, sabotage, assassination, collecting enemy frontline information, disturbing enemy reserve bases and other espionage activities for the Lord. Because you have to be anonymous before you die and live a dark life for life; You can't leave a few phrases in case you get caught in the future. So, when should the origin of Japanese ninja be traced back? No one dares to assert. However, in the secret book of Ninjutsu, it is recorded that Shoto Kutaishi (from the end of the 5th century to the beginning of the 6th century) had a ninja named Da Companion.

At present, although there are numerous schools of Ninjutsu in various parts of Japan, they will return to Iga (northwest of Mie Prefecture) and Kaga (south of Shiga Prefecture). I think many people get the impression from comics and novels that the Iga Ninja Corps and the Kaga Ninja Corps are sworn enemies. Actually, it's not. Their ancestors are the same family, and most of them are related by blood. However, if their employers (monarchs) are hostile to each other, they will have to be at odds with each other and even become brothers. On the other hand, in order to facilitate the inheritance of Ninjutsu from generation to generation, they also had to intermarry frequently, which can be said to be a close relationship. If you think about it a little, you will know that once you grow up in this place, no matter whether you are a man or a woman, can you still marry and have children for family secrets? Moreover, there are usually female ninjas behind male ninjas. This kind of work is a matter of course unless I have been exposed to it since I was a child. Otherwise, one day my husband suddenly left without saying goodbye. Ordinary women who can stand not to be angry?

In the ninja world, there are four basic commandments: don't abuse Ninjutsu (Ninjutsu can only be used for business) and give up all self-esteem.

(It is very important to run for your life), you must keep your mouth shut (even if you lose your life for it) and never reveal your identity (this is the most basic endurance). There are three periods when ninjas are active: 1 1 Yuan Ping period from the end of the century to the end of 12 century, Southern and Northern Dynasties period from 13 century, and Warring States period from the middle of 14 century to the end of 15 century. The Warring States period can also be said to be an era when ninjas "let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend". Ninjas are divided into "upper forbearance", "middle forbearance" and "lower forbearance". "forbearance", also known as "think tank forbearance", specializes in the overall plan of strategic operations. "Zhong Ren" is the commander in actual combat. Of course, patience must be outstanding. "Lower forbearance", also called "physical forbearance", is equivalent to modern special forces, ninjas who actually fight in the forefront. There is an obvious hierarchical relationship between them. Lower forbearance obeys middle forbearance, and middle forbearance obeys upper forbearance.

The following is a brief description of ninja equipment:

Ninjas in clothes usually sneak into enemy towers and mansions on new moons or cloudy nights. If they wear black, the outline will be more prominent. Therefore, the basic dress color is dark blue. At night, when the moon and stars are scarce, they will change into gray or brown clothes. Sometimes it's gray outside and brown inside. In case of enemy pursuit, you can reverse your costume on the way and use the color illusion to escape. In addition, dark blue can prevent the invasion of poisonous snakes, mosquitoes and other insects, and it is a cloth dyed with iron-containing natural dyes. Jeans and ninja clothes invented by American pioneers have the same purpose. As for underwear, of course, it is the traditional Japanese crotch cloth (a slender white cloth). But the ninja's beam method is different from that of ordinary people, and its length is longer. They wrapped the crotch cloth from the neck to the crotch and finally to the waist. In this way, the crotch cloth can be pulled out from the back of the neck at any time as a bandage or rope for first aid. There are many pockets in the coat to put some gunpowder, sewing needles and first-aid drugs (including sleeping pills and poison) that can't get wet; There are some daily necessities in the belt. Gloves and leggings usually hide some hidden weapons.

Weapons In order to deceive the interrogation of border guards, ninjas usually go on the road disguised as farmers. Therefore, the so-called Ninja hidden weapons is often transformed from farm tools, daily necessities and gardener props. Most of these weapons are invented and cast by themselves, and only they know their usage, so they are no different from ordinary daily necessities in the eyes of others. This is also one of the main reasons for the loss of ninja weapons. Modern people know seven kinds of ninja weapons from various ninja cheats: syuriken, makibisi, Ninja, hukiya, sikomidue, tek koukagi and mizugumo. Shuriken is a kind of darts, the tip of which is coated with poison. "Sprinkle Spirit" is a diamond-shaped weapon, which is thrown behind you when you escape. Anything that is uneven and can sting your feet, such as natural stones, dried fruits, iron, etc. , you can use instead. "Endure the knife", with a rope about three meters long, can be used as a stepping tool when crossing the city wall, and then recovered by the rope; When in danger, the scabbard can be used as a snorkel in potential water. "Blowing an arrow" is a poisonous needle, usually hidden in a flute; Sometimes you need to dress up as an artist during the journey, so ninjas must learn to blow arrows and practice flute skills. As the name implies, "Enduring Staff" is a kind of walking stick, which hides weapons such as chains, spears and swords. There are all kinds of "nail hooks", some on the nails and some on the back of the hand, depending on what kind of kung fu the participants are good at. "Water Spider", a prop used when crossing a river, can usually be folded and hidden in a bag.

Ninja food ninjas must not "gain weight" because they have to hide on the ceiling and floor all the time and support their weight with one hand. So ninjas must pay attention not to weigh more than 60 kilograms. In terms of a man's arm strength, the upper limit weight of fighting with the enemy with one hand is 60 kg (try it yourself). "Ninja food" is mainly grain, with low calorie, low fat and high protein. The staple food is generally brown rice, wheat and sweet potato, the side dishes are miso made of tofu and soybeans, and others are plums, vegetables, sesame seeds and quail eggs. Foods that enhance body odor, such as leeks, meat, onions, garlic, ginger, and hobby cigarettes, are all prohibited. Moreover, ninjas often take a bath and wash clothes in order to get rid of body odor. In addition, pine nuts, torreya nuts and other plant fruits are also one of the staple foods of ninjas. "Carrying grain" is also very important. Once you receive the task order, whether camping in the wild or lurking on the ceiling of the enemy mansion, you must have "carrying food" to maintain your physical strength. Dried taro can be strung into a necklace and hung around the neck; Steamed rice can be preserved after drying. Both can be brewed with boiling water and become fast food to satisfy hunger. In addition, ergot, plum and rock sugar are mixed into pills to become "thirst-quenching pills"; Carrot, buckwheat flour, wheat flour, sweet potato, licorice, coix seed and glutinous rice flour are all ground into powder and soaked in wine for three years. After the wine volatilizes, knead it into the size of a peach pit. You only need to eat three pills a day, so don't worry about consuming physical strength. There is another kind called "frost wyrm Pill", which is made of carrots, wheat flour, glutinous rice flour, honey and wine, boiled with slow fire, then kneaded into small balls and dried in the sun. You can take 30 tablets a day to get the necessary vitamins. "frost wyrm Pill" should be used by wartime soldiers when guarding the city, right? In short, this is also one of the main "ninja foods".

The ninja who lives in the wild has rich knowledge of herbs, and can distinguish poison from good medicine and improvise. I know the habits of wild animals like the back of my hand. Many ninja skills are learned from the habits of wild animals. Astronomical meteorology is one of the essential basic endurance skills. For example, observe whether there are water droplets on the spider web at night, and if there are, it will be sunny the next day; There is a halo around the moon, or when the moonlight is brighter than usual, the next day is rainy; It began to rain in the middle of the night, at eight o'clock in the morning, and at night, which may last for several days. When you get lost in the deep mountains, bake the needle of the sewing needle with fire, or put wax on the needle and put it into the water immediately. The pointer points to the north. The sewing needle on the ninja can not only be used to tell the direction, but also be used as an acupuncture prop when injured or tired. What if the kettle is out of water? Find an ant hole or a mole hole. Where there are ants and crickets, there must be water nearby.

Ninjutsu must, of course, improvise into various identities first. The basic "nanabake" of a ninja is: becoming a monk, being an empty monk, crouching on the mountain, abandoning the teacher, being upright, being a businessman, and being Saruga Kush. "Xiuke" is an ordinary bald monk. "komusou", wearing a cylindrical bamboo hat on his head to cover his whole face; Dressed in cassock; There is a bowl hanging around the neck; Xiao blew while begging. A monk practicing in Shan Ye. "houkas i" is equivalent to a modern street performer, performing magic, stunts and monkey tricks. "tunenokata" incarnates as a local farmer or soldier, provided that he can speak fluent local dialect. A "businessman" is a businessman who sells medicines and sugar. Jianghu artist "sarugakusi". Others include "disguise", "transformation" and "voice change". When delivering confidential documents, the best way is to memorize them. However, sometimes it is sewn inside the clothes; Sometimes documents are twisted into a rope and woven with straw hats. What's more, a slender piece of paper is wrapped around a cylinder, which records the contents of the document. If you untie the paper, the content will become unclear words. After receiving the document, the recipient winds the note on a cylinder with the same thickness and restores its original shape. Personally, I think the coolest way is to carve words on the scalp! In this way, you must shave your hair first, then tattoo it, and then shave it when it grows and returns to the Lord safely. However, this method must be painful. But ninjas can mix medicines anyway, so there should be some modern anesthetics. Another way is to use the "Word of God". This is a kind of large-scale ancient Chinese characters before China Chinese characters spread to Japan, which is equivalent to Oracle Bone Inscriptions in China. During the Warring States period, few people could read the holy book, so it became a "secret code" between ninjas. There are all kinds of other strange endurance techniques, such as "Wen", "Wu", "Yi" and "Le", and the list goes on. After Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate in Edo (Tokyo), some Iga Ninja became the guards and spies of the shogunate, while the rest Iga Ninja and Kaga Ninja were assigned to famous territories all over the country. During the Meiji Restoration, Ninjutsu was gradually lost, and these descendants of Ninjutsu changed jobs and became policemen, doctors, drugstore owners, fireworks artists and so on. Having said that, the world of ninja is still very attractive, which makes modern Japanese, even foreigners, curious and want to explore: what medicine is sold in this gourd? !

"Pro (,), Bing (,) and Zhe (,) believe that any friend who is interested in ninja will not be unfamiliar with these nine words. By the way, this is a nine-character mantra that has been circulated by ninjas for hundreds of years.

Get to the point, let's say a few digressions first. For ninjas, the correct pronunciation of the words "pro, soldier, fighter, philosopher, quan, array, fierce, middle and front" is "りん, ひょぅ, とぅ".

All right, now it's official.

As a ninja, before a battle, it is an essential process to recite the nine-character mantra with both hands and put on various seals. What they recite by hand is what we often call nine-character mantra or nine-character Mudra (nine seals). Since we talk about the nine-character mantra, we can't help but talk about tantra.

As mentioned in the last article, in ancient times, most ninjas were fanatics of esoteric religion. Although many ninjas don't practice esoteric Buddhism deliberately, they are instilled with esoteric Buddhism from birth, and later they will unconsciously indulge in it and be influenced to some extent.

The so-called tantra is relative to Buddhism, which is the characteristic of Buddhism in the late ancient India and the product of the combination of Buddhism and Hinduism. In terms of genre, it can be divided into three parts, namely, the esoteric school representing Indian and China esoteric schools, the esoteric school improved and evolved after China esoteric school spread to Japan, and the esoteric school of Tibet. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, three Indian tantric masters, Samamitabha, Vajrayana and Sanzang, came to China, and they passed on the tantric teachings. At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the tantric religion brought into Tibet by the Mongols merged with the local Lamaism to form tantric religion. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the court thought that the tantra was too weird, so it was abolished, so the tantra gradually declined in the Central Plains, but in the late Tang Dynasty, the tantra spread to Japan from the master of the air sea. Tantric Sect regards Piluchana (that is, the sun is coming, and the famous Kamakura Buddha is Piluchana) as the supreme commander and the founder of religion, and strongly advocates inheritance, mantras and secret spells. Another major feature of tantric Buddhism is that the human body has many mysteries and potentials. Only through the unremitting efforts of Tantric Buddhism can the yogi bring his full potential into play, let the body communicate with the universe, and reach the realm of harmony between man and nature, which coincides with the ultimate body technique pursued by ninja.

"Three secret blessings" is an important part of tantric practice. Including body secret-handprint deed, language secret-mouth praise truth, meaning secret-heart view respect Buddha.

The main method of body secret is to "knot fingerprints". Simply put, it is the practice of crossing hands and fingers and combining imagination to form different shapes. There are thousands of tantric handprints, each of which has a special meaning and function, such as: auspicious seal, King Kong Dahui seal, big wheel altar seal, magic seal, Bao Guan Bao Bao seal, light fireworks seal, bound thinking seal, quasi-nine-headed dragon seal and so on. Although some handprints have the same name, their shapes are quite different. For example, the seal of King Kong armor is a kind of demon-seeking protection (for example, if you imagine it as an armor with a clear seal, you will burn a flame on yourself and the disgusting demon will fly away). Ninja nine seals are: exclusive seal, Daikin steel wheel seal, external lion seal, internal lion seal, external binding seal, internal binding seal, knowledge seal, Japanese wheel seal and invisible seal.

As far as Dongmi is concerned, it can produce the effect of blessing practitioners through the combination of ten fingers and the idea of psychological imagination, which conforms to certain practice and forms different "handprints" with each other. Tantric theory holds that hands and fingers are externally connected with the Buddha nature of Buddhism and internally connected with internal organs. Therefore, when practicing Buddhism, the formation of "handprints" can inspire each other with the body secrets of buddhas and bodhisattvas that have been achieved in Buddhism, and increase the quick effect, just like gaining the divine power of the Buddha itself.

Besides handprints, there are all kinds of sitting postures, which are as diverse and meaningful as handprints. In full meditation, "auspicious sitting" and "magic sitting" are two kinds that ninjas often practice. Ninja usually needs to cooperate with the "incense" in the Five Classics of Ninja (detailed in later chapters) to practice the spirit of auspicious sitting and devil sitting.

Secret language, also known as mantras, is to create something in the mind of the practitioner by reciting a string of mantras and urge it to change. This special note is used to vibrate the qi pulse in the body, and the idea is concentrated on one point, forming extraordinary potential and inspiring magical power and high wisdom. The number of mantras of tantric schools is as varied as handprints, such as: Fire Mantra, Curse, Four Heavenly Kings Mantra, Golden Winged Bird Mantra, Luo Cha Mantra, Luo Cha Mantra, Blessing Sentence Mantra, Samadha Mantra, Immortality Mantra, King Kong Armor Mantra, etc. , and there are five-character mantra and six-character mantra (very famous in China). ), manjusri mantra.

Ninja's mantra of "facing, fighting, fighting, having, fighting, being fierce, having, and going forward" is the mantra of the nine mandalas in Dongmi. Tomi incantations are mainly pronounced according to the combination of sounds and rhythms of ancient Indian Sanskrit letters. However, the incantations handed down from Tomi Avenue in Kameyama, Japan, have generally become Sanskrit with Japanese pronunciation. It is a very complicated problem to study the phonology of tantric spells in detail now. However, unlike the six-character mantra of Tibetan secrets, which originated from Sanskrit in ancient India, the nine characters of "pro, soldier, dou, zhe, Jing, Zhen, Lie, Zai and Qian" originated from the Taoist classic Bao Puzi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China. Everyone knows that Bao Puzi is a Taoist classic, which is divided into two parts: inside and outside. The inner part mainly introduces Taoist alchemy, forbidden art and health preservation, while the outer part is related to military strategy and political theory. The nine-character mantra comes from "Bao Puzi, Inner Chapter, Deng She".

There are many forbidden arts in Taoism in China, which are also called "forbidden laws". Taoism believes that ghosts and poisonous insects and beasts can be suppressed. The forbidden art cover originated from the early Qi Shu and Fu Shu, which only appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be divided into two categories: Ban Qi and Curse Class. It involves a variety of contents, from traveling in the cloud for rain, expelling insects and avoiding disasters to inviting ghosts to send spirits. One of them is the "calling the wind and thunder to control ghosts and gods" that Tiangou has been pursuing. This article about the nine-character mantra in Bao Puzi belongs to the curse. The original text is: "When you enter the mountain, you should know the secret wishes of six families. Wish:' All those who get cold feet are marching forward', and all nine words should be secretly wished all the time. When crossing the river, I wish: "The wind is rolling, Hebo leads the dragon, and it is difficult to wipe the sky. ".The Japanese changed this a little, and it became what we see now.

Judging from the practice method of Tantric chanting, it uses a special note to vibrate the qi pulse inside the body, so that it radiates the potential of life, becomes a role beyond ordinary phenomena, enters the mysterious field, and even inspires magical power and high wisdom. Therefore, there are different spells in the three secrets of the East Secret, such as King Kong, Fetal Tibetan and Lotus, which enable practitioners to achieve different effects for different purposes. From this point of view, the biggest focus of tantric mantra is the relationship between sound and human pulse, which is purely a mysterious function beyond physics.

The secret of meaning is the most important part of the "Three Secret Blessings". In the whole process of practicing the secret method, both body secret and language secret can play a role according to meaning secret. The secret of meaning leads to the potential of consciousness through "visualization" and reaches the realm of transcendence. As mentioned earlier, the nine-character mantra of Ninjutsu is a secret technique of self-hypnosis, just like a magician hypnotizes an assistant in a modern magic show and says, "You are holding a stick." At this time, even if someone stood on the assistant's suspended body, he didn't know. One meter uses the process of sticking fingerprints and praising the truth to concentrate and paralyze yourself. He made the ninja excited, made him forget the pain in the battle for a while, and completely turned into a killing machine running at full capacity.

The most basic classics of Dongmi are Sun Sutra and King Kong Ding Jing. Through the basic principles mentioned in these two classic works, we can know that human beings have self-instinct beyond the universe. As a warrior engaged in the special occupation of ninja, every battle is a life-and-death struggle. Since it is a life-and-death struggle, I certainly hope to exert my full potential to fight for survival. At this time, I need a catalyst that can stimulate my spiritual pillar and make my body fully function. Nine-character mantra just meets this demand, so it is highly respected by ninjas.

After learning about the "three secret blessings" of Tantric Buddhism, I think everyone should understand the reason why ninjas must print, recite scriptures and concentrate their thoughts before each battle.

[Share] Pro, soldier, fighter, fighter, hero, true, fierce and modest.

The word "nine characters" originated from the novel "Bao Pu Zi" written by Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As the saying goes, "I wish you:" Those who are facing the war are in droves. You should always take care of them and do everything with all your heart. "This means that by reciting these nine words, all evil can be eradicated. Dongmi was influenced by Taoism in our country (using the method of amulet), but when copying these nine words, he mistakenly copied "front array" as "front array" or "front array", which has been used ever since. These nine words mean:

In fact, Tantric Buddhism has always paid attention to ritual spells, but it is not necessarily influenced by Taoism. On the contrary, Taoism has learned a lot from Buddhism.

Turn Ninja Xiaoquan (Glacier Editor)

People's impression of ninjas is that they come and go without a trace. In people's eyes, they are not ordinary soldiers, and some even call them soldiers who transcend the laws of nature. This is not only the need to exaggerate their descriptions in artistic descriptions, but also related to people's ignorance of them. In fact, ninjas are called ninjas because they are different from others in two basic aspects, that is, martial arts and practice.

In fact, no one would have thought that the ninja worthy of Japanese pride was actually influenced by our long history of Chinese culture, and its martial arts routines originated from Taiji in China, which is called "soft-hearted". On the other hand, in practice, it comes from Zen Buddhism in China, and the ideological realm of who goes to hell if I don't go to hell is often reflected in ninja behavior.

During the Tokugawa shogunate, a Japanese vassal state, an aristocratic duke, surrounded by many warriors, proudly walked on the road. Suddenly, a figure flashed about 30 meters ahead, only to see him raise his hand, and the duke was hit by a dart in the throat and died. The soldiers screamed after the assassin. The assassin was quick, running and jumping into a small forest. In an instant, he disappeared like smoke. The warriors looked at each other and whispered, "Ninja! bear

The most basic thing is to face the sun in the morning, face the moon at night, and do it again in the morning and evening. In addition, ninjas must "connect their fingerprints" before fighting or acting, which will double their spirits.

The seal is connected in the order of "pro", "soldier" and "fight" ... while reciting the name, put your hands together on your chest, don't put them down, and keep changing your gestures with your fingers crossed. At this time, from the side, your wrist moves from top to bottom, like drawing an arc. Moreover, when the eighth seal is "in", your hand pushes forward, and finally it is "front".

The origin of congratulatory messages is very long. It is a language with a special style that vegetarians sang to the gods before Archean, and the ancient Shinto handed down from it has had a far-reaching impact on the Japanese way of life and thinking.

This shinto plays a leading role in the daily life of ninjas.

Incense Road, Tea Ceremony and Flower Road are also called "Three Japanese Arts". Burning incense in a certain way, enjoying classical poems, ancient events and fragrant scenes, is a unique culture in Japan, with a high literary spirit and an inseparable part of forbearance.

Types of incense for benevolence: The main raw material of incense is fragrant wood produced in China, India and Southeast Asia. In addition, it is also taken from animals such as deer, whales and shellfish.

According to the six categories of incense, galo is the highest quality. Only two specific areas produce incense with extremely high prices.

It is made of tree trunks, tree roots, etc. Use resin. Buried underground for many years, wood rot fungi and other bacteria multiply in the buried part and emit fragrance. It is produced in all parts of Southeast Asia and can be used as a sedative.

The most widely known fragrant wood is refreshing and sweet. Unlike agarwood, sandalwood itself can also emit fragrance at room temperature. Among them, India is called "Laoshan White Dalbergia".

In ancient Iga, local herbs were popular, and Iga ninjas used them to treat injuries, soldiers' grain pills, thirst-quenching pills and so on. The aggressive poison used by ninjas also comes from this place. Many drugs developed by ninja can still be used today. It is important for ninjas to put their herbs and gunpowder at the same level as themselves.

The raw medicinal materials are directly applied to the wound after mashing, and the curative effect is very good. Dried herbs can be made into pills and poisons, and ninjas usually rely on them to protect themselves.

Perilla frutescens: It can perspire, relieve fever, relieve pain, strengthen stomach, treat bronchitis, eliminate phlegm and promote digestion.

Plantain: It grows in roadside open spaces and places frequented by animals. It can be used as an adjuvant drug for analgesia, anti-inflammation and diuresis. Niuche Shenqi Pill is a commonly used Chinese medicine.

Peng: Picking stems and leaves in spring can make medicine cakes, because this is also called "grass cakes". Rubbing the wound with leaves can cure scratches and insect bites. Soaking the stems and leaves in a bag can cure the sweat rash.

Nantian: It is both a good medicine and a poison, especially a panacea for relieving cough. It can also moisten the throat. Soaking leaves with wine can treat oral inflammation and sore throat.

Coix lacryma-jobi: It is a heavy medicine. It is said that there are ten effects, mainly laxative and diuretic, and the leaves have antibacterial effect, which can cure oral inflammation and sore throat.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum: unripe fruits picked in rainy season can be pickled and eaten. If you want to use medicine, you can only use the pericarp of mature fruit to promote the peristalsis of the stomach, so it is used as a stomach tonic.

Athena Chu: Bamboo is very useful. Bamboo leaves can be used to wrap rice balls and bamboo tubes can be used to hold water, which can keep rice balls and water from deteriorating. In particular, vermilion leaves are rich in vitamin C and can be used as drugs for treating hypertension.

Ninja's food is mainly low-calorie food that is not easy to be obese in cereals. Ninja often lifts rice bags full of heavy objects with his thumb and forefinger, so it is very important for him to keep his weight. If he can't keep his weight below 60 kilograms, he can't just hang himself from the ceiling by the finger force of his thumb and forefinger. Therefore, the diet of ninja in daily life plays a vital role in his fighting and lurking.

Brown rice, wheat, prunes, sesame seeds, soybeans, pigeon eggs and brown sugar sesame cakes.

Sunflower seed: rich in vitamin B, iron and dietary fiber, it is a diet food for ninjas.

Pine nuts: Also known as fairy medicine, it contains iron and rich vitamin E, which can enhance the exercise ability of ninja and accelerate metabolism.

Pumpkin seed: rich in fat, it can replenish vitality, eliminate inflammation, disinfect and relieve pain, and prevent insect bites.

Hazelnut: It is rich in a variety of organic acids, which has a good effect on strengthening physical strength and has special effects on treating anorexia, physical weakness and headache.

Lycium barbarum: Since ancient times, it has been considered to have the effect of immortality. Combined with other drugs, it can treat hypertension, liver disease, anemia and lumbar muscle strain. Leaves can also be soaked in water for drinking.

Chinese wolfberry wine: Fruit wine 1 L, dried Lycium barbarum1.50g, sugar 200g, and a little honey can be drunk after being sealed for about 2 months, which can achieve the effects of prolonging life and strengthening bones and muscles.

Aloe wine: 1 l fruit wine, 300g aloe leaves and 200g sugar, which can be drunk after sealed storage for one month. Can enhance gastrointestinal function and treat constipation.

Limoncello: fruit wine 1 l brewed wine, lemon 1 kg, sugar 200~300. Lemons need to be peeled and soaked for about a month. It is similar to the plum wine in the Tokugawa Ninja era, and can achieve the effect of restoring fatigue.

Ninja gossip (1)

I believe everyone is familiar with the term "ninja", so I will tell you something about "ninja" here. Maybe something is wrong, I hope you will forgive me.

The development of n ninja

The earliest origin of ninja can't be traced back, but according to the nature of ninja's work, it was produced around 200 AD. The basic job of a ninja is to collect information, which is a bit similar to the current agents. After years of evolution, ninjas also began to develop, from the initial individual to the collectivized family, the most famous of which is Iga's endurance army.

Ninja army

The Ihe Ninja Army was formed in the most chaotic Warring States period in Japanese history, that is, about16th century. Ihe ninja army is a purely family-style way, which played an important role in the struggle of famous soldiers in the Warring States period. During the Warring States Period, Japan admired China's ancient art of war, and books such as Sun Tzu's Art of War also contributed to the evolution of Japanese history. However, for war, "know yourself and know yourself, and win every battle" is an eternal truth. As a result, ninjas who specialize in collecting intelligence are of great use, and Ihe ninjas begin to rise slowly. The Ihe Ninja Army has had a leader for generations. The first famous leader was Fuma Coutarrous, and the second was Hattori Shimada Hanzo. By Hattori Shimada Hanzo's generation, the Warring States period was coming to an end, and Hattori Shimada Hanzo became an indispensable general under Tokugawa Ieyasu. At that time, the ninja's work was not limited to the previous intelligence gathering, but also engaged in assassination, bribery and other similar work.

Shimada Hanzo, Hattori

Don't think that Hattori Shimada Hanzo is just a person's name. At the earliest time, Hattori Shimada Hanzo was indeed a person's name, and Tokugawa Ieyasu got his help, so he decided to take the name of Hattori Shimada Hanzo as the title inherited by the leader of the Ihe Ninja Army, so the next generation leader was also called Hattori Shimada Hanzo, and the name of Hattori Shimada Sanzang became a famous title. It wasn't until the end of 19 AD, after the Meiji Restoration announced the ban on knives, that the Ihe Ninja quietly withdrew from the historical stage. However, there were still many descendants of Ninja at that time who adopted the surname "Hattori", so it is possible that the current surname "Hattori" is the descendant of Ninja at that time.
